Thrifty Thursday

Leapfrog Phonics Super Center

Today I went to a community garage sale and found a few great deals. I bought this Leapfrog Phonics Learning System for $2.00 (because it was missing the "H"). It comes with 5 different levels of learning cards that you slide into the tray. There are different levels of game play too, like "Quiz", "Spell", "Read" & "Learn". The sound is VERY annoying, so we are going to use it without any sound at all.

There are extra pieces that store underneath the desk, which include the Silent E and Blends.

Here is one of the beginning cards (short vowels). I will be hiding/saving levels 1-5 for later use.

Slide the card in, pick out your letters and "read" the word. Since there is a picture, I think that's cheating a little, but you can see there are other "et" words on the side that can really be read.
I also bought this Disney Princesses "Spinning Wishes" game and all the books in the next picture for $3.00

Thrifty Thursday

I went to a garage sale on Saturday and came home with a bunch of things. These were the best "learning" finds. The top one is a velcro shapes "creator" You can put the shapes on pictures that are almost done (like the fish)...


...or you can create your own with this brown board and shapes. There are 4 cards that show different "animals" you can make. We had fun making this bird.
We also bought this Magnetic Creations "Baby Dress Up". The little eyes, ears, mouths, clothes, etc. so you can create baby and bunny any way you want. I bought both for $1.00!

Ship Shapes

I love the thrifty deals that I see on other blogs (Chasing Cheerios, & Sew, Craft, Create), so I thought I'd share my own good deals. I bought both of these at Goodwill for .99 each! I have been looking for the Geometric shapes and a lacing toy, but didn't want to pay full price. I am so excited. I think the thrift stores will be a regular shopping trip while Hannah's in preschool.

This lacing toy you can lace the sheep by itself or onto the board.

You can see the holes on the back line up with the holes in the sheep.
